Bryant unveils projects to restore Coast after spill
Mississippi plans to use $13.6 million from BP to begin two restoration projects in the Gulf of Mexico following the 2010 BP/Deepwater Horizon oil spill, Gov. Phil Bryant announced today.
The money is part of $100 million the company directed to Mississippi for early restoration projects. The two projects will restore oyster reefs and construct and rehabilitate artificial reefs in the Mississippi Sound.
“These funds focus on marine resources, which are a vital part of the economic engine that drives the coastal economy,” Gov. Bryant said.
